William Eklund

Eklund has been fantastic for sure.

I’m so enjoying watching him grow as a player. He wears a teal sweater and I couldn’t be happier.

Would love to see him hit 45-50 points this year. Feel like he has a ceiling of being a two way 20g 70p type of player.

Eklund is proving himself to be an important part of the next stage for the sharks, he is built for big games, may not be the face of the sharks but I could see him becoming a leader for the next wave of prospects kinda like hertl Ferraro did

Who was worried about Eklund after his first 9 game stint? He showed he had the talent to play at this level even back then, just that he was trying things at the NHL level that maybe would not work or would get him injured by opening him up for a big hit.

Eklund was one of the prospects we could of rushed without actually hurting his development.

Worried about getting blown up by a big hit is exactly what I was referring to. Sorry for the confusion.

 

[BaileyMacTavish]

He's on a 43 point pace so it's possible

Correction. 40 point pace. Still good

 

[karltonian]

He is surprisingly physical/scrappy. And he looks to have gained a lot of strength and tenacity.

Ekky has been fantastic this season, he really has taken another step and has been our best forward a lot of nights. I fell like this has been overlooked in all the love for our shiny new toys…

So here is some love for Ekky

 

[Juxtaposer]

He's got to be getting a serious look at the Swedish Four Nations team, right?

If I were them I'd take Eklund and Zetterlund, deploy them with a center like Elias Lindholm on a crash-and-bang fourth line.
